If Constabulary hired somebody --> a black belt in either karate or judo AND a high school diploma AND no criminal record.

This does not necessarily mean if a person fulfills alll the requirements he will be hired. It is possible that there were more eligible candidates than positions (meaning some people who fulfill the requirements would be left out).

"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins." - Bob Moawab

answer will be a... A. The first part is background information relevant to the conclusion, and the second part is a conclusion that is logically valid.--> the first part is the premise(fact) for the conclusion to be true. the second part is valid conclusion because if he is not hired even though he has black belt in judo and karate. that means there is possibility that the other two essential criteria have not been fulfilled.

B. The first part is background information relevant to the conclusion, and the second part is a conclusion that is not necessarily valid.
